With the rapid development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, vehicle detection in aerial images plays an important role in different applications. Comparing with general object detection problems, vehicle detection in aerial images is still a challenging research topic since it is plagued by various unique factors, e.g. different camera angle, small vehicle size and complex background. In this paper, a Feature Fusion Deep-Projection Convolution Neural Network is proposed to enhance the ability to detect small vehicles in aerial images. The backbone of the proposed framework utilizes a novel residual block named stepwise res-block to explore high-level semantic features as well as conserve low-level detail features at the same time. A specially designed feature fusion module is adopted in the proposed framework to further balance the features obtained from different levels of the backbone. A deep-projection deconvolution module is used to minimize the impact of the information contamination introduced by down-sampling/up-sampling processes. The proposed framework has been evaluated by UCAS-AOD, VEDAI, and DOTA datasets. According to the evaluation results, the proposed framework outperforms other state-of-the-art vehicle detection algorithms for aerial images.

Human validation of computer vision systems increase their operatingcosts and limits their scale. Automated failure detection canmitigate these constraints and is thus of great importance to thecomputer vision industry. Here, we apply a deep neural networkto detect computer vision failures on vehicle detection tasks. Theproposed model is a convolution neural network that estimates theoutput quality of a vehicle detector. We train the network to learnto estimate a pixel-level F1 score between the vehicle detector andhuman annotated data. The model generalizes well to testing data,providing a mechanism for identifying detection failures.

Abstract With the rapid development of intelligent algorithm and image processing technology, the limitations of traditional image processing methods are more and more obvious. Based on this, this paper studies a new pattern of sparse representation optimization of image Gaussian mixture feature based on convolution neural network, and designs a sparse representation system model of vehicle detection image based on convolution neural network. The vehicle image data is collected from many aspects, and the convolution neural network is used for comprehensive analysis and evaluation. The model can extract the feature information of the vehicle detection image better by making the scheme of the real-time vehicle detection image and according to the image features and convolution neural network algorithm. The results show that the Gaussian mixture feature sparse representation optimization model based on convolution neural network has the advantages of high feasibility, high data accuracy and high response speed, which can enhance the processing efficiency of vehicle detection image and improve the utilization of local environmental information in the image.

Automatic vehicle detection and counting are considered vital in improving traffic control and management. This work presents an effective algorithm for vehicle detection and counting in complex traffic scenes by combining both convolution neural network (CNN) and the optical flow feature tracking-based methods. In this algorithm, both the detection and tracking procedures have been linked together to get robust feature points that are updated regularly every fixed number of frames. The proposed algorithm detects moving vehicles based on a background subtraction method using CNN. Then, the vehicle’s robust features are refined and clustered by motion feature points analysis using a combined technique between KLT tracker and K-means clustering. Finally, an efficient strategy is presented using the detected and tracked points information to assign each vehicle label with its corresponding one in the vehicle’s trajectories and truly counted it. The proposed method is evaluated on videos representing challenging environments, and the experimental results showed an average detection and counting precision of 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively, which outperforms other existing approaches.
